Wild Morel Mushroom And Cheese Omelet Recipes

MUSHROOM AND CHEESE OMELET

Steps:

• Crack the eggs into a small bowl, and use a fork to beat them with the salt and pepper.
• Heat an 8-inch omelet pan or shallow skillet (preferably nonstick) over medium-high heat. Add the butter, let it melt and swirl the pan so it coats the bottom evenly. Pour the eggs into the pan and quickly shake and swirl so the eggs completely cover the bottom. Let the eggs firm up on the bottom, about 30 seconds, then use a rubber spatula to lift the edges of the omelet up so any uncooked egg on the top runs underneath.
• Sprinkle half of the eggs with the sauteed mushrooms and cheese and let it cook for another 30 seconds; the top should be moist but not quite runny (unless you like it runny). Flip the uncooked side of the eggs over the filling, and slide it onto a plate. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.
• Heat a very large skillet over medium high heat. Add the oil, then the mushrooms and garlic, season with salt and pepper and saute until the liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms have turned nicely browned, about 10 minutes. Taste, adjust seasonings and serve hot.

Add 1/2 tablespoon butter; heat until butter melts and foam begins to subside. Add half of egg mixture. Stir with flat side of fork until eggs begin to set. Cook until omelet is set, lifting edge with spatula to let uncooked egg flow under. Top with 1/4 cup grated cheese and half of mushroom mixture. Fold omelet into thirds and turn out onto plate. Repeat with remaining 1/2 tablespoons butter, egg mixture, 1/4 cup grated cheese and mushrooms. Sprinkle omelets with additional chopped fresh parsley.
